Ok for the price.

Very much in need of refurbishment, beds were comfy there was a large dead cocroach in the corner of the room on first entry. The pool really needed a good clean. The only thing that was good was the ease of check in and the fact they allow dogs.

We only stayed a night as a break point from traveling. Room was adequate. Tv too small and very far away from the bed. Wasn’t the greatest comfortable bed either. The vinyl couch uncomfortable too. Bathroom was small and squishy. Yet the room was very spacious. Glass front fridges means it lights up the room when you’re trying to sleep. Being picky, but those things were what I felt. Parking was tight once motel had all guests there. It was clean and neat. Had what we needed for a night.
